2020 Honda Odyssey – Ultimate Family Minivan

2020 Honda Odyssey is the Ultimate Family Minivan! It has all the space, amenities, power and cargo families are looking for and there are some minor tweaks in 2020 that make this minivan even better. Is it right for you? Find out.

It’s reviews like yours that helped me sell my husband on getting an Odyssey. He’s a visual person, so just reading the specs didn’t fully sink in how awesome this vehicle is. We just picked ours up on Friday.

Just traded my Pilot for this 2020 Odyssey Elite. I don’t have kids but one test drive and I was hooked. It doesn’t sit much lower than my Pilot FWD and is SO much quieter. The ride is also smoother with good suspension and the fine-tuned 10 speed transmission. Your review helped so much to explain many of the features. Thank you. And for what it’s worth, I actually love the push button shifter! I did grab the water bottle a couple of times when trying to back up, but the solid engagement of the buttons feels intuitive to me. The Elite is loaded, but I also test drove an EXL. The handling and comfort were identical, so if you don’t need the DVD player or hands free trunk opener, you’ll still get an awesome vehicle in the lower trim. Again, thanks for the review!

I just rented this car for a mom and kids trip, I absolutely loved it!! The safety features, cabin camera and sound system with the DVD player were well used and appreciated!!

I am still impressed with my 2003 Odyssey with 226000 miles on it. I have so many memories with my kids when young and I cannot get rid of this thing because it still runs like a dream! I will probably die first than the Odyssey.

Honda Odyssey, the best minivan beyond doubt. Best family vehicle. We have so many memories in it. We continue to do so. Ever reliable, ever smooth, almost sedan like fuel efficiency, so much storage, innumerable cup holders, theater like DVD player + wireless headphones . i can go on and on about this family hauler. Absolute best for long family road trips. Part of our family.

Nice review. I think mini-vans get a bad rap. If I had small children, I would choose a mini-van over an SUV any day. Primarily because of the space and easy access.

side note: Paddle shifters are not "silly." they are actually really useful in case of break issues but especially when driving around in mountainous areas. Also the middle chair seats have integrated arm rests and not just on the doors because they can be moved right and left!!! 🤔

Excellent comprehensive review! I am considering (gasp!) switching from an SUV to a mini-van when my current lease is up -- not because I have a bunch of kids but because it seems like a well appointed MV checks all the boxes of an SUV but with more bang for the buck. Based on this review, I will definitely be checking out an Odyssey in person!

Why can't honda add surround view camera for such a large vehicle? Due to the entertainment system, no panorama sunroof but they should at least add a second sunroof for rear passengers.

The paddle shifters (sport mode) are great for keeping the vehicle in the same gear when driving up a mountain road.

I have a 2013 Odyssey. I think that it is the best minivan on the market. It's got great acceleration and comfortable to drive. The 2nd and 3rd row seats doesn't look and feel cheap like the others. However, the only thing that I would take points off, which I'm surprised is that it still does not have an option for AWD. The Sienna has it. Not sure what the reason would be for Honda to not make this an available option.

My best choice ever. interiors and exteriors very exotic indeed.

Most important question: can I fit an 8x4 sheet of plywood flat on the floor with the seats out?

[eddyherrera]

Soccer mom feel? That goes for SUVS as well except maybe the 4runner or land cruiser heritage.

We are looking to replace our 2017 Senna xle as it goes off lease soon.. I think your video convinced us to select the Odyssey. It is not clear what trims have certain features. We like the safety parts for lane change and automatically adjusting cruise controls. We travel on i10 between Florida and California several times a year. We keep our normal speeds around 80.

[michaelhyams]

I hope they add an expanded sunroof. I’m stuck between this one and the Pacifica

Found your channel the other day. I really like your reviews. I subbed. Keep up the great work!

Just curious what you thought would be better between an Odyssey and CRV for single guy like me that needs cargo space for like Sams runs for work and buying materials for rental property. I'm sold on Hondas as I've had civics, then accords, now want to go up another notch but not sure if CRV or Odyssey. I know better mileage with CRV but I hear vans are more comfortable lol

[RVR]

Would've been nice if Honda had an AWD version like the Toyota Sienna minivan.
